A little bit about me
I am an older, caring, compassionate (I cry at television commercials) experienced, knowledgeable, intelligent, well-spoken, educated, non-smoking adult female.
Although I never had children of my own, I babysat children from the age of 14 through my adult years, and was married to a man that had 5 step-children, ranging in ages 7-15. Although I treated them as if they were my own, I received little semblance of reciprocation by all but one of them, who I remain in contact to this day.

Since I was in my early 20's, I have "adopted" elderly people, ranging in ages from 40 - 94, Elderly people, in my assumption, just like their co-parts, young children, have great wisdom and expertise to offer. There is a simplicity and sincerity and much to be learned from both ends of the spectrum.

I come from a family of 4 children (3 girls and a boy) and grew up monitoring my 7 year-old younger sister. My Father was a severe diabetic (deceased 24+ years). Both my parents worked, so we were raised to be independent, hard-working, and grew up without a great deal of wealth (financially); however an abundance in learning how to cook, sew, iron, do dishes, do laundry, church and community activities, etc. We also had designated curfew and bed times and endured harsher punishment than the "time-out" corner. I am not very compliant with scolding, abusive language and wilt with tears.
Conversely, we did not have entitlement to computers, cell phones, IPads, Tablets and the such; however, not having a TV in our youth, and living a block from the library, we grew up adoring books and some of my favorites were and are in my possession, many being children's story and my most f...

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Syracuse, NY
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
Syracuse Nanny Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a nanny?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
- What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
- Are you open to a live in arrangement in Syracuse? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
- Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Syracuse?
- Do you have a driver’s license in NY? Do you own a car?
- What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
- What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!
